RE: Effective patterns
I would get those turkey targets anyway and buy a couple of boxes of shells and see which one shot better. Set the target at 30 yards and shoot at it. The shell that throws the best pattern would be the one that I would use. I've found that money talks and BS walks when it comes to good shooting shells. If I had to shoot a lead shell it would be plain ol' Winchester High velocity's. They were about the cheapest shell I ever shot where I had satisfactory results.
